https://ejobs.tips/14-ways-improve-facebook-page-seo/#respondThu, 13 Apr 2017 22:54:28 +0000http://ejobs.tips/?p=2464Facebook is known as a great tool for the branding of your products or services. Here are 9 ways to improve your Facebook Page for SEO that could have a positive impact on your brand awareness.

1 – Keywords in your URL (Facebook username)

Once you’ve got 25 fans you can apply for your username (also called a Facebook vanity URL). So if the URL for your Facebook page is currently something dreadful like www.facebook.com/your-page-name-12789645$%^ then you need to register your username quick smart. Quite often what’s best for SEO isn’t what’s best for people (ie: your customers).

The people-first approach is to have a short, memorable username using just your company name. This makes it easier for Facebook users to remember and find you when typing in your URL directly, and also looks better when you promote your Facebook URL, such as on your business card or in your email signature. So if your company is a restaurant called ‘Joes’ your page might be called Joes and you’d want to register www.facebook.com/joes taking the people-first approach. However, the SEO-first approach would be to add 1 or 2 targeted keywords to your username as well.

2 – Pick a page name and stick to it! Unlike your username, you can change your Page name providing you have less than 100 fans. Most companies are best to pick a name that matches the name your customers know you by to make it as easy as possible for people to find you using Facebook search. Your page name does not have to match your username. You could have the page name ‘Joes’ and the username www.facebook.com/joesrestaurant for example. Don’t be tempted by a generic keyword username like ‘travel’ or ‘real estate’ however, as Facebook’s goal is for Pages to genuinely represent a business, brand, person etc and Facebook has disabled generically named Facebook Pages in the past. Keep in mind if you do have good reason to change your page name (such as a change in your trading name) this will cause actions you’ve taken under your previous Page name to go to waste, so changing your Page name should be avoided so you don’t harm your SEO.

3 – Pay attention to your ‘about’ box. When you complete the information on your Info page, pay special attention to what you put in the ‘about’ field. Although you can write more, fewer than 75 characters of what you type into the ‘about’ field will show on your Wall view. It’s those characters that you need to make count both for SEO and for your fans, who see your Wall more often than any other page. For most companies, the smart approach is to include your primary keyword/s and a link to your website (if room allows). Others may prefer a phone number or email address.

4 – Optimise your Info page. The info page is another opportunity to include your keywords and important links. Depending on the type of page you registered, exactly what the fields you can complete on your Info page will vary. TIP: If you have a field that just doesn’t match your company, just leave it blank. Info page fields with no content won’t show at all for your fans, so don’t worry about leaving irrelevant fields empty. Of course the more complete your Info page the better. So for all fields that are relevant, go ahead fill them out with your keywords in mind. Also include links to your key websites and profiles outside of Facebook as well as any particularly important page on those sites, such as your website your blog the direct link to view your products or services page on your website a link to your contact page your twitter profile your LinkedIn profile and so on. Adding your local address and info improve your indexing.

5 – Use your keywords in your status updates. Every status update you add should include at least 1 of your keywords that also relates to the content you’re sharing. For example, a lot of the content I share on Orchid’s Facebook Page links to our blog articles. Instead of just putting the link in a status update, however, I add a short sentence or two to serve as a description of why I think our fans would get value from following the link. Here’s one example of a recent update where I shared a link to a blog article and the snippet text about the link uses our keywords, in this case, ‘website design’ was my primary keyword and the update read “Website design & usability tips: Is top navigation or left navigation better?”

6 – Avoid the Facebook content trap. You want to use your Facebook Page to drive traffic to your website or blog, so don’t fall into the trap of putting your full content solely on Facebook. You’re better to link from Facebook to the content source, bringing your fans one step closer to your website (our blog links to our website for example), and therefore one step closer to becoming a customer/repeat purchaser / joining your email database etc. This also helps build links to your website and blog for double the SEO value.

7 – Optimise your photos. When you add photos to your Facebook Page, always add a caption describing the photo that also includes your relevant keywords. Whenever possible, include a link in the caption to the most relevant page on your blog or website. This builds links and also moves more fans that important step closer to your website to become a customer.

8 – Add a Facebook Like box. We’ve covered multiple ways to get more links from your Facebook page, however, links to your Facebook page are also a factor of SEO to help your Facebook Page rank improve. By adding a ‘like’ box (also called a ‘fan box’ ) to your website and blog, you’ll not only get more likes – because people don’t have to leave your site to like you on Facebook – you’ll also create more inbound links to your Facebook page.

9 – Encourage interaction. When fans comment and like the content you add to your Page, Facebook links their name to their profile page. That means Google sees more reciprocal links between your Page and your Page’s fans, improving the SEO value of those links. 14 – Get more fans! Every time someone likes your Page, that’s another link gained. More fans mean more links and that means more SEO love.

What to go even further?!

Also, while you drive traffic to your facebook, it would be pity not to monetize it. A simple and fast monetization is to get a Shopify account set up and start selling your products online. Opening an account and setting up your shop on Shopify is 100% free and doesn’t need a credit card.

https://ejobs.tips/how-to-determine-which-summer-job-is-right-for-your-teen/#respondMon, 27 Mar 2017 22:24:47 +0000http://ejobs.tips/?p=4444Most of us can remember our first summer jobs. The lazy strolls into work, the daydreams about being at the pool or on the beach while we reluctantly served customers or pushed brooms… the experiences we had during our first summer jobs were probably ones that we’ll be able to recall forever. Thinking back on our first summer jobs may even bring up tales of sorrow, anxiety and misery, simply because we hated our first seasonal gig. Others may look back on their summertime work from their teenage years and wish that it had never ended.

Luckily, parents today can use their experiences from their first summertime jobs when trying to help their own teens find their way into the appropriate seasonal workforce. Carefully considering your teenager’s strengths and weaknesses will help ensure that your teen finds work that can be satisfying, productive, and even fun.

The first step you should take when trying to find a good summertime fit for your teenager is to make a list with two columns: one for strengths, the other one for weaknesses. Then list out the issues and personality traits that you think may be important to consider when helping your teen look for work during the vacation season.

If your teen loves being outside during those long summer days and interacting with other people, then perhaps a job at the local amusement or water park would be the perfect fit. On the other hand, if your teen is the type that would rather stay indoors and in the comfort of an air-conditioned facility while keeping the talking to a minimum, then maybe a job working at the local movie theater is right up their alley.

The next issues that you should address are your teen’s long-term career goals to see if they can be applied to a summertime gig. For example, if your teenager plans on pursuing a career as a lawyer, then maybe they should take a summer to enjoy a carefree job in preparation for the long hours of study that will come once they get accepted to a university. In contrast, if your teen wants to pursue a career that they can get experience in right away, like taking a summer internship at a local business or company, then maybe that’s the right choice for your teen.

Finally, make sure that your teen can fit their summertime job into the important parts of their current schedule. You don’t want your teenager to work for an employer that isn’t going to allow them to attend summer school if your teen is already enrolled in classes, or a boss that won’t let your teen have certain evenings off for football or baseball practice. Summer is a great time of year for your teen to get some work experience in, but it’s also necessary to keep your teen’s usual school schedule intact so as to avoid disruption when the regular school year starts back.

Whether you’re a parent that looks back on your first summer job with nostalgia and longing, or a parent that has spent years trying to get the horrid memories of your first summertime gig out of your head, it’s up to you to make sure that you use those experiences to help guide your teenager in the right direction.

Almost all of us have been asked to help out with painting at one point or another; painting a room, a house, or even a wooden fence is a right of passage for most teenagers (See “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”). Just like the protagonist of one of Mark Twain’s most popular novels, many teens baulk at the idea of having to paint all day. But if the sound of covering walls both inside and out with lustrous enamels, stains and lacquers sounds like fun to you, then why not start your own business as a residential painter.

Getting a painting business started is a fairly simple task. First, you’ll need some basic tools before you begin. These include:

1) Paint brushes

2) Rollers

3) Ladders

4) Drop clothes

5) Painter’s clothing

6) Masks

7) Cleaning supplies

Once you’ve got the appropriate tools, then it’s time to sell yourself around the neighborhood. Don’t be afraid to knock on doors and ask your neighbors if there are any painting jobs that you can help them with. It’s also a great idea to have a flyer made that you can distribute throughout the neighborhood that has all of your contact information and services provided listed on one page. Don’t be afraid to take on a wide variety of jobs, but don’t over promise anything, either (like taking on a job painting a three-story house with only a 6’ ladder; it’s just not going to work out).

There are several other issues to consider before getting started, too. Check with your local city or county to make sure that you don’t need a business license to take on small painting jobs. If you do need one, then get one; you don’t want to get your painting business off to a bad start with your local authorities. Also see about getting the proper insurance for yourself as well as your business should an accident happen on the job. Many homeowners won’t even hire contractors that do not carry the appropriate insurance.

Residential painting is a job that can easily turn into a career. Many people start painting on the side (summer job for kids, teens and students), and then grow their businesses into successful companies that provide an income for years down the road. If you love working hard, taking on different projects on a weekly basis, and providing customers with quality service while improving the look of their homes, then a career in painting may be the clear choice for you.

Job Summary: Painting

Suitable for age range: 14+ years old, although older individuals may be needed to pull permits, apply for a business license, and sign up for insurance for the business. However, if you’re just painting your uncle’s house, then you probably don’t need to worry about these issues.

Safety and security: Safety risks include working with corrosive chemicals at times (paint thinners, lacquers, etc.), working off of steep ladders and around roof eves, exposure to the outside elements, bugs, and pests.

Can improve your: Physical stamina, work ethic, business management skills, and customer service skills.

Can continue as a career? Many painters start off painting part time before growing their small businesses into careers that can last a lifetime.

Required hard skills: Ability to work long hours both indoors and out, sometimes in the hot sun, ability to paint in a multitude of different settings without a fear of heights (may have to work off of a ladder at times), ability to manage time efficiently and give appropriate time and cost estimates when scheduling several painting jobs at once.

Where & how to find one? Don’t limit yourself to looking online for a job painting; if you’re looking to kick off your painting career by working for someone else, then try searching local help wanted ads. A lot of painters around today are still pretty old school, and may not prefer to look for help by using an online job search forum. You can also try asking around local supply shops and paint depots where local painters purchase supplies throughout the week.

Estimated pay: Working for another painter is probably going to land you a basic starting hourly wage of around $8, with increases in pay based on your improving skills as a residential painter. If you prefer to work for yourself and start your own business, then you’ll be setting your own prices. The average cost to have a 10’ x 10’ room painted is $100, or $1 per square foot, so there’s definitely money to be made when you’re willing to do as much work by yourself as you possibly can.

Google launches new courses in mobile App programming with online education provider Udacity. Google is starting to take education into its own hands with the launch of four new courses to teach the next generation of mobile programmers how to use its Android operating system.

Thanks in part to a broken immigration system, Silicon Valley is constantly starved for talent. Even worse, our institutions of higher education treat vocational training like “the ugly stepchildren of education,” often refusing to provide practical hands-on learning that will help students get a job after graduation. As a result, start ups like Udacity have teamed up with industry to close the skills gap.

In this case, Google has helped build courses in four programming areas (Android fundamentals, Cloud fundamentals, UX fundamentals, and web performance) to help build out the number of people who can develop the next generation of apps for its growing operating system.

There is no word yet on whether Google will officially incorporate these new courses into its hiring process. Earlier this month, Udacity announced the creation of a new vocationally oriented alternative degree, the “nanodegree,” with a host of tech partners who would agree to recognize completion of certain courses when hiring employees.

https://ejobs.tips/new-facebook-search-different-unique-google-search/#respondMon, 23 Jan 2017 04:31:17 +0000http://ejobs.tips/?p=2380How The New Facebook Search Is Different & Unique From Google Search

With a typical Google search, the objects we search for are Web pages, with the connections (or graph) that help determine the pages that rise to the top primarily being links from across the Web. Links, simple form, are like votes, helping Google decide which are the most popular pages to show for a particular topic.

With Facebook Graph Search, the objects we search for aren’t Web pages but instead virtual representations of real world objects: people, places, and things. The connections are primarily Facebook Likes. Did such-and-such a person like a particular photo? A particular doctor? A particular restaurant? Those likes are the ties that bind the information in Facebook together.

If you want your Facebook fan page to be more visible then you need to:

a. more connected to other pages and groups through Likes
b. received more comments on your postings (called engagement in fb vocab)
c. have more of your keywords used in your postings, and the comments you post to others’ posts.
